I am interested in knowing what you guys did while on board ship during the holidays to "forget" the situation you were in and "enjoy" the holiday spirit. Especially knowing that for many this was the first time you were away from home for the holidays.

Thanks for the reply. I am always happy to hear anything from the guys who sailed in the Armed Guard and Merchant Marines. It helps motivate me to keep that memory alive!

Best wishes to you and all the guys who ensured that I have the freedoms that I enjoy and take for granted every day.
